The Bestway 2024M-00353 is a portable frame ice bath designed for personal use. This manual provides instructions for assembly, water maintenance, and safe operation. Key requirements include assembling the unit on a flat, smooth surface, maintaining water chemistry within specific parameters, and performing regular filter pump maintenance.
Assembly Instructions
Assembly can be completed without additional tools. Ensure the ambient temperature is above 15°C (59°F) to allow the PVC liner to be flexible and easier to handle.
- Preparation: Compare all parts in the box with the parts list provided in the manual.
- Frame Setup: Follow the illustrated steps to connect the frame components (A, B, C, D, E, F). Ensure the frame is stable and level.
- Liner Installation: Carefully unfold the liner and attach it to the frame structure.
- Pump Connection: Connect the filter pump to the bath's inlet and outlet ports using the provided hoses and clamps.
Filling and Operation
Once assembled, fill the bath with water. You may use tap water, ice, or hot water up to 40°C (104°F). Do not use sharp ice that could damage the liner.
- Air Discharging: Before switching on the filter pump, you must perform the air discharging operation. Follow the steps in the manual to release trapped air from the pump.
- Operation: The filter pump should only run when the ambient temperature is above 10°C (50°F) and water temperature is above 5°C (41°F).
Water Maintenance
Maintaining clean and chemically balanced water is essential for health. Use a chemical dispenser or floater for chlorine or bromine tablets. Do not add chemicals directly to the water as they may damage the liner.
Recommended Water Parameters:
- pH value: 6.8 to 7.6
- Free active chlorine: 0.3 to 1.5 mg/l
- Turbidity: max. 1.5 FNU/NTU
- Combined chlorine: max. 0.5 mg/l
Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when using the ice bath:
- Supervision: Continuous adult supervision is required for non-swimmers and children.
- Temperature: Water should never exceed 40°C (104°F).
- Health: Consult a doctor before use if you have medical conditions or are taking medication. Avoid use if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Electrical Safety: The pump must be supplied through an isolating transformer or a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
Cleaning and Storage
When not in use, clean the liner with tap water and dry it completely. Sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent the liner from sticking together during storage. Store in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 15°C and 38°C.

Practical help
Common problems
Water leakage
Ensure the surface is flat and smooth. Check that no sharp objects are under the liner. Verify that all hydraulic connectors are tight and not obstructed.
Filter pump not working
Ensure the pump is plugged in, air has been discharged from the system, and the ambient temperature is above 10°C.
Liner damage
Do not use sharp-edged ice. Do not drag the liner on the ground during setup or relocation.
Before use
- Ensure the installation surface is flat, smooth, and capable of supporting the weight.
- Verify all parts are present according to the manual.
- Ensure ambient temperature is above 15°C for easier assembly.
- Check that hydraulic connectors are clear and properly attached.
- Perform the air discharging operation before starting the pump.
Specs in practice
- Max water temperature
- Do not exceed 40°C (104°F) to prevent injury and liner degradation.
- Filter pump operation
- Requires ambient temperature > 10°C and water temperature > 5°C.
Images and diagrams
- The manual includes detailed diagrams for frame assembly (steps 1-6).
- Specific diagrams illustrate the correct connection of hoses to the filter pump.
- Diagrams show the air discharging procedure required before pump operation.
Model compatibility
